German Online Training

Each German language learner has different needs and wants when it comes to their learning pace, time commitment and goals. This is the reason we developed the German Online Training: A teach-yourself package that provides you with flexibility in terms of your time commitment and allows you to learn at your own pace. All with the proven quality of the Goethe-Institut.

The International Relocation Payment (IRP) offers financial support of £10,000 to teachers and trainees from around the world who wish to train or work in English schools. For more information on the IRP, visit the Department of Education's website.

In-Person Professional Development in Germany

The Goethe-Institut UK awards scholarships for participation in language courses and professional development seminars (e.g. cultural studies; German as a foreign language theory and practice) in Germany. You can apply for a scholarship from the Goethe-Institut if you are a teacher of German as a foreign language or are involved in the teacher training of such teachers; this also applies if you work at a PASCH school.
